The price war for trading volume continues in the US, with news that BATS Trading, Inc. has announced a new pricing plan for New York Stock Exchange-listed securities for the remainder of 2007.

Under the program, BATS will pay rebates of US0.24¢ per share for adding liquidity to the BATS order book while charging US0.24¢ for removing liquidity. Standard routing charges will remain unchanged at US0.26¢ per share.

“The results of our September Tape A pricing promotion exceeded our lofty expectations, and this latest move is designed to thank the many subscribers who continue to endorse BATS’ business model,” BATS chief executive Joe Ratterman said. “With an order match rate that is consistently 81%-84% across the board, we see a unique opportunity to continue our growth in all securities.”

BATS averaged total daily volume of nearly 518 million shares in September, regularly handling as much as 10% of daily U.S. equities volume, including, at times, more than 10% of NYSE-listed securities.

BATS Trading is based in Kansas City, Mo., with additional offices in New York.
